About Study, Sleep, Repeat: 130 Tips to Schedule Your College Life by Joel B. Randall:
Hickory dickory dock. The mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck eleven, and this was the moment the university freshman stressed out about uploading his project in time when he still had another three hours of work to do—Hickory dickory dock.
It’s easy to feel there’s no rhyme or reason to what we do anymore in college. Our undergraduate schedules—inundated with an unmanageable quantity of fluff and should-dos—impel us to look down from the grandfather clock of a mid-semester crisis and wonder, “My goodness, what am I even doing here?” Lack of time-management skills in college is a problem. But more importantly, there is a solution; 130 of them, in fact.
For this undertaking that doubled as his senior project, the author interviewed eight college success experts across the United States and compiled their answers into easy-to-apply tips to schedule your college life. “Study, Sleep, Repeat” divides college time management into five sections: college routine, classes, homework, jobs, and leisure time, each with suggestions to make these areas more meaningful in an undergraduate career without burning you out.
Time crises foil the good-natured plans of education, but despondency doesn’t have to be permanent. With a break here, a breath there, and a hickory dickory dock of preparation, you can make it. If you feel like a mindless mouse exhausted by racing against the clock for no apparent reason, this book is for you.
